Kothamalli thogayal (cilantro chutney)

Thogayal is a Tamil word for Chutney. Thogayal is common in most South Indian households specially when you need something tasty and need it fast. I used to prepare thogayal of different kinds… thogayal with dals, coconut, vegetables like pumpkin, peerkangai ( ridgegourd ), brinjal, karuveplai(curry leaves), coriander etc,.
